The “2026 Pre-Harvest Grain Congress,” organized by the Ulusal Hububat Konseyi (UHK), will be held in Konya between April 3–5. At the summit, which will take place with the participation of Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı, global food supply dynamics and Türkiye’s 2026 harvest projections will be discussed.

Konya, known as Türkiye’s grain warehouse, is preparing to host one of the sector’s most important gatherings. The “Pre-Harvest Grain Congress,” which has become a traditional event organized by the National Grain Council (UHK), is gaining even greater significance this year with the participation of Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı.

The congress, which will begin on April 3, will serve as the highest-level platform where expectations for the 2026 harvest season, yield forecasts, and market balances will be evaluated. In his opening speech, Minister İbrahim Yumaklı is expected to deliver important messages regarding agricultural support models, planned production strategies, and the overall policies of intervention institutions in the grain market, particularly the Toprak Mahsulleri Ofisi (TMO).

Throughout the summit, where the impact of climate change and global economic fluctuations on grain production will be addressed, several key topics will be discussed through panels and sessions. These include regional yield projections for the 2026 production season, access to finance and production costs, licensed warehousing and logistics infrastructure, seed technologies, and sustainable agricultural practices.

At the congress, Ahmet Güldal, General Manager of the Toprak Mahsulleri Ofisi (TMO), will deliver a presentation outlining the institution’s stock management and preparations for the upcoming harvest season. The final declaration to be issued at the congress—considered vital for maintaining stability in grain prices and ensuring food supply security ahead of the harvest—will shape the sector’s roadmap for 2026.
